[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the food and service at this warm restaurant with outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent BBQ shrimp, broccoli, shrimp creole with friend eggplant - although it was served with too little of the very good local rice served - and delicious pecan pie. We were sad that it was closed when we stopped by on a Monday. read more

Our server, Rose, was great. The food was DELICIOUS. Everything was wonderful and on point. read more

I'm unsure if I'd go back. I say this because the food and drinks are so unique & different. Though It wasn't nasty. The dessert was good. We ordered one of each of all the deserts. I sampled them all and must say the cheesecake hit the spot for me. The fruit was super fresh & juicy. & the fried cauliflower was really good. I would definitely need like a craving for one or two things to visit again. Most of the food & drink items have a required taste. A nice hangout spot. I would go with a group to hang out and only order certain things from the menu. Go with a open mind. read more

This is a great little restaurant hidden in Lakeview. We really enjoyed their dinner service so we brought a group for brunch. The brunch menu is short, but many of the sandwich fare and other side dishes off of the standard menu. Of course we loved the fried cauliflower. Shrimp and grits was spicy and good as was the shrimp creole. read more

Went here with friends who live in NOLA. Their suggestion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were able to sit outside on a lovely night and had a really nice time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some of us had the turtle soup which was very good, albeit it could have been hotter (temperature wise). I had the mushroom salad which was very good. Our server was very good, albeit a bit quirky, but she did amuse us. My only negative is when we asked for a last glass of wine, they brought it in a to-go cup, obviously indicating it was time to leave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a former holding cell (Andy Mayberry style) and the bathrooms are still part of the holding cell, so do go even if you don't have to go, you know?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went with a large group in December and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was excellent, drinks were delicious and came out quickly. The food was not the fastest but worth the wait because everything I tried was delicious! Fried chicken 10/10. read more

This is another Susan Spicer restaurant and another big hit. First things first - the building is actually an old jail. How cool is that? Pair that nugget with food that makes my eyes roll back in my head and service that truly makes me smile, and you know it's another winner. It's a casual spot with a cozy feel. The staff is friendly and laid back, but still extremely efficient and attentive. The menu is the perfect size. There are plenty enough dishes - all interesting - to keep you coming back. My favorites: Pate board - Susan Spicer's pate is the best I've ever had. I'm taking in the whole world, and I'm a huge pate lover. Pimento cheese sandwich - it's warm, melty, rich, cheesy, and has a little kick. In a word, it's decadent. The burger - perfect size, always cooked to perfection White sangria - fruity, refreshing, just plain delicious Everything is awesome. My husband had the stuffed skirt steak last night. Y'all, it's stuffed with Boursin cheese - come on!! Effing Boursin cheese! Yes, she went there. It was unctuous. Go to Rosedale. read more

Phenomenal Fathers Day meal. We requested a last minute reservation and they were very accommodating. The entire menu was tasty. The burger, my bourbon chicken, but especially my dads duck sandwich. I am not a duck fan. At all. But this is next level melt in your mouth unexpected flavorful bites. Dare I say... one of the best San which we I've ever tried??? Drinks are pretty average price wise. Which can get pricy after a few. But they do have wine on tap, which I love. So I'll head back for a happy hour on my next trip. My family comes often and raves about the menu. read more

I've beed to this cute restaurant several times by now. I came here for lunch, happy hour and dinner. Food is consistently delicious, with a nice selection of small plates for a happy hour. Servers are very friendly and attentive, and at the same time not annoying with their attention. They have a beautiful back patio which I've never been at. At this time of the year it's pretty hot outside, but I definitely want to check it out. Parking space is, unfortunately, limited. It was OK for happy hour, but I had a hard time parking for lunch and dinner. Interesting fact about this restaurant is that it used to be a police station. Restaurant is very cute and cozy, you will never tell it used to be something else. But they kept one of the cells in its almost original condition - they turned it into a unisex bathroom. Overall, great experience, great food and drinks. Definitely worth of checking it out. read more

This place did not disappoint.. i came with my co-workers for a lunch meeting. I was skeptical that this spot would be great due to this being one of my co-workers favorite Eateries. I had one of the specials which was the sauté drum. The drum was served in a bowl surround by a dark rich broth. See pic. My co/workers had the meat loaf sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, and i can't remember what the last plate is but every one raved over their food. It's kinda fancy but not so fancy spot. Oh i almost forgot i had the pecan pie and Espresso ice cream. We shared the fried cauliflower and a fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. They were great as well. read more

It was very good as was the service and ambience. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Parking is the only problem.

A mid-city gem! Everything was delicious and everyone was welcoming. The fried cauliflower was better than expected, the flavor of the barbecue shrimp was smoky and rich, and, while I can't remember the name of our dessert, it was great and the perfect end to the meal. They have an outdoor patio space for when the weather is nice, too! read more

Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Wonderful food and drinks! We enjoyed the fried cauliflower appetizer, Shrimp Creole, pimento cheese sandwich, broccoli, garlic bread and the meat loaf sandwich (which was everyone's favorite). The building even has great character. Check out the unisex bathroom. It was previously used as a jail cell. Nice outdoor seating too. Next time we will have to sit outside. read more

Rosedale - Entrance - American Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Second visit to Rosedale- this time with a large group. Staff did an amazing job accommodating changes in our reservation on one of the busiest days of the year. Cocktails were delicious and everyone enjoyed their brunch entrees including shrimp creole, Cochon de lait poboys, duck pastrami and chicken and waffles. Restaurant is very casual but food and service are first class read more

Food was great and flavored to Perfection. We were just stopping through before heading home and it was worth it. The mimosa are strong but that's a good thing or 4.00. They don't taste bitter. read more

We had some good time here Service was great and everyone was very polite to us . Ambiance is why we were here for And food has good and bad dishes for us but everyone's tastebud is different so I like one dish I didn't like other one so I can't say too much but there is something for someone here for right chose I believe read more

Enjoyed the menu. Meatloaf sandwich was delicious. Went with friends. Service excellent. Will be back. read more

I had a good time here, the bartender and waitress were very nice and respectful. However it took nearly an hour after getting seated to get our food, and the BBQ shrimp was pretty disappointing to me, and the 4$ side of Mac and Cheese was about 3 bites worth. Although the Fried chicken and the mac and cheese were pretty tasty. I would come back here and order something else. read more

Outfreakingstanding!!!!!! I had one of the best old fashions this year at the bar. Food was unique (not in a bad way), so yummy, and very filling. They made steak fries something incredible- I coulda eaten a few plates of this dish for dinner snd been fine! This restaurant is a gem!!! The public road out front looks like it was bombed - has nothing to do with the restaurant though! read more

Absolutely delicious.... Everything we tried, turtle soup, chicken pate, and arancini for appetizers. Entree's just as impressive. We had the meatloaf sandwich, shrimp creole and pork ribeye special. All were amazing, our favorite being the meatloaf sandwich. Oh and got to meet Susan Spicer on the way out. She's just as kind as can be. read more

Always a good idea. Great outdoor seating...intimate and neighborhoody vibe inside...food and service is consistently great.

Food. 9 Service. 9 Ambiance 9 I highly recommend food was delicious. It was a great variety and selection. We tried four of the appetizers. All delicious. The wife and I shared shrimp, creole barbecued shrimp, and a meatloaf sandwich. We had plenty to take home. Everything was over-the-top. This place is definitely the trendsetter. read more

Perfect little local spot. It is this adorable hidden gem with super fun and friendly service and incredible food. They had a cute fairy lights back porch we sat on and it couldn't have been more perfect. We had the barbecue shrimp, the burger, the salad with shrimp, and the mac and cheese and all of them were super yummy! Highly recommend! read more

Got a recommendation to go to Rosedale, not realizing it was walkable from the house. It's tucked way back so definitely feels like a locals place. Happy hour is Wednesday-Sunday from 3-6 which is pretty great. Drink and food specials from $4-$7. We started with the guacamole which was fantastic. Just about everything here is made in house and it shows. The chips were perfectly crisp and salty. The guac was creamy and chunky in all the right ways with a nice sharp bite of onion. The smoked fish chowder was also great. It could have been a little smokier for me but I still eNjoyed it. The pimento cheese sandwich was super gooey and melty and the bread was buttery. The unfortunate low point were the shrimp puppies. I was surprised when they came out. They are basically skewered shrimp dipped in a tempura style hush puppy batter and deep fried. The issue was they were dripping in the fry oil. Way too greasy. I had to pull the breading off and just eat the shrimp. Still a good experience overall and I will be going back. The service was great. The bartender made a great Sazerac. read more

I didn't think anything could compare to Pascale's Manale's BBQ Shrimp...Rosedale has not only topped it but has blown it away!

Great service and tasty food. The ambience was nice for an evening meal. The staff was very welcoming.

The menu looked more amazing than the food tasted. Service was excellent but the food was missing something. Our fish was completely over cooked. The fried chicken was just ok. The sides of Mac n cheese and potatoes chips that came with the entrees were the highlight of the menu. I would come back and give it another try. Based on all the reviews, we might have came on an off day for the chef. read more

Wow! What a find! Tucked away in the Navarre area of NOLA, and so worth the visit. Every single dish we ordered was great and, was specific to the restaurant. I can't wait to go back for Brunch! Cool, casual, neighborhood vibe. Excellent service! Patio seating! Great Bar! We had French 75 cocktails (gin based) that were made perfectly. The fried cauliflower is mind blowing! Get IT! And, while the menu had more dinner-centric options, we were short for time and ordered sandwiches. The pimento grilled cheese, which, I was pleased to find, was seasoned well, slightly spicy and on awesome bread (so good) and the meatloaf, which made us moan a little (so surprisingly good). We cleaned our plates so fast, we had time to order the bread pudding, which...is the best we've experienced! That nice (expected) almond flavor, but with a cherry glaze drizzle--fantastic! New top of my list for casual place to take friends. read more

A HIDDEN GEM ~ We never would have found this spot as it is off the proverbial beaten path and yet it is well worth the find! We had a great meal; my cocktail left a bit to be desired. 4 stars would have been 4.5 to 5 stars if my cocktail would have been better prepared. This will become our go to neighborhood restaurant. Would love to make my go to Happy Hour spot. My wife ordered the August Coolinary menu and she loved it all. I tasted each of her courses and was equally ecstatic with the tasty dishes. The Peach Bruscetta was a perfect appetizer. Naturally sweetened, savory, tart, smokey. Delicious. The steak and vegetable kabob...Perfectly cooked. The Veggies were cooked but stilled had "bite". Each cut of steak was an excellent medium grill. Her dessert was ice cream with melon and a warm ginger cookie. My meal: I ordered of the regular menu and got their famous Honey and Tabasco Fried Chicken with collard greens, and baked mac 'n' cheese. It was an incredible mix of southern country and elevated experience. The chicken thighs were deboned and prepared incredibly. The honey and tabasco did not upstage the chicken. Everything was married in divine fashion. I could have ordered it again and ate it on tastiness alone! I would have stuff and miserable and on a food high overdose. My only knock was my cocktail. I ordered an Old Fashioned as it is my test for every bar or restaurant with a bar. The cherry and orange slice were muddled into the drink. Which makes for a murky, cloudy drink with clumps and pulps of fruit. And at it's basis...this is not an Old Fashioned. The Old Fashioned cocktail is not a quick rum and coke type mix; it takes a bit more time and effort to do it right and based on the level of time, effort, and quality of food...I expected a higher quality cocktail. There wine list is very easy to enjoy because every wine can be ordered by the glass or the bottle. Parking is limited but if you are in or around Mid-City take the streetcar and walk three blocks or ride a bike. read more

It was delicious, friendly, and casual but still a little upscale in terms of atmosphere compared to a true casual restaurant. Very New Orleans Try the broccoli! read more

Friendly neighborhood spot with great service. We had the tuna and it was remarkable. Perfect spot to grab dinner with friends and you can choose your vibe between the intimate indoor area or outdoor patio. read more

Definitely off the beaten path but it's near Delgado & City Park so it's easy to find and easy to park by. Seating on the outdoor patio is plentiful and there's indoor space as well. The menu is a creative mix of NOLA favorites like Turtle Soup, Cochon Du lait, and more. Everything we ordered was delicious. Enjoy! RESERVATIONS Recommended, it gets busy! read more

Rosedale is dreamy! I plan to bring my tourist friends here because the food is just so good! I was impressed with the warm mushroom & butternut salad! My partner got the duck pastrami sandwich. We were both very happy! The staff is always super accommodating and when it's not too hot outside the patio is beautiful! They always prefer you make a reservation so always check in before making your way over! read more

Freakin outstanding food, drinks, & service! Adorable vintage salt and pepper shakers (resembling roosters, fish, an avocado). The staff obviously invests a lot of care into everything they provide. And again, the food is absolutely impeccable. Pictured is the omelette I got for brunch today. The side dish of Italian broccoli is to die for which seems weird to say about broccoli, lol. This place was great when I first went here 5 years ago and it is still stellar. So refreshing to find a restaurant that has consistent quality, & I'm sure that is not an easy thing to accomplish. Very impressed, you won't be disappointed!! read more

When you sit near the bar of a place, and the TV has on 'beat Bobby Flay' instead of sports, you know it's a foodie place. Everything was excellent; the red drum was well made, and the only problem is it's out of the way. read more

Please don't eat here - I don't want to have trouble getting a table. Amazing high end food in comfortable setting. The bar is great, too.

The Rosedale experience starts at the front door, "Right place, wrong door" ...an arrow points you to the side of the building with a nice wide, accessible ramp and an easy to open door. "Jonas" the managing partner greeted us with a smile and seated us at our reserved table -a last minute reservation he made for me at the "hallway table" (much like a chef's table). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The setting for two was perfect -a comfortable, practical wooden affair with a candle lit on the table adding a bit of light to the dimly lit environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level was noticeably calm with an occasional clinking of dishes from the kitchen and minimal conversation between the friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ah, the staff -a front of house running like a fine timepiece, everyone movng at a pace best described as intentional, not rapid nor hurried, not a hint of stress on a busy Valentine's evening. One of the chefs stopped at our table to visit with us, welcoming us with her genuine kindness. Our server was so friendly and her table visits to care for us were always appropriate and timely. Other servers passing by would stealthily remove any spent plate or utensil with a smile. The food was excellent, plated nicely and hot from the kitchen. There's a definite culture here and it's subtle -as it should be. We waited for nothing, wanted for nothing and were thankful for this excellent dining experience. We've been to most of NOLA's finest but this gem ranks superior to them all. read more

First time to Rosedale and we will visit again. Sangria was very good, Margarita was ok. Food was delicious. We started with fried cauliflower which was absolutely delicious. I got the cheeseburger with Mac-n-Cheese both were extremely tasty. My hubby got the meatloaf sandwich with fries. The best meatloaf sandwich we have ever eaten. The service was superb. The atmosphere was wonderful. We look forward on returning. read more
